Sociologists Paxton (U. of Texas-Austin), John R. Hipp (U. of California-Irvine), and Sandra Marquart-Pyatt (Michigan State U.) explain methods appropriate to analyze nonrecursive simultaneous equations models. An equation model is simultaneous if it has at least two equations, rather than the single equation social scientists are used to. A simultaneous equation model is nonrecursive if two of the outcomes affect one another, and at least some of the disturbances are correlated. The topics are specifying simultaneous equation models, identification, estimation, assessment, and interpreting models. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
